TEXANS PISSED THAT DNA TAKEN WITHOUT CONSENT

The good old boys saw nothing wrong when the Mormons were ordered to line up and give their DNA if they ever expected to see their children again, and of course the children had no say either way to be honored by the State to undergo SANE exams, strip searches and DNA tests.

After all, them lying Mormons wouldn’t tell the CPS and CASA dykes which child belonged to which “Mother” so they couldn’t “Return” the child to the mother. It wasn’t as if the State planned to use the DNA for a criminal prosecution, after all, CPS and CASA are not LE, they were conducting a “Civil” investigation, NOT a criminal one, right?

Well, the Eldorado First Baptist Church, Fort Concho and the Colosseum still stinks of the bullshit thrown around the place and in the meantime, the stolen evidence and Illegally obtained DNA samples were handed over to LE without LE even bothering to ask for it.

Now, the shit kickers are up in arms about the taking of their DNA, after all, it was taken without their permission AND they had to pay for it!

Just as in SB 1440 when the bigots tried to pull a fast one by slipping in even more Gestapo power to the dykes last year, they pulled the same wool over the good old boys eyes in 1993 in HB 790. Big Brother wanted to collect the DNA of all Texan’s and didn’t want to go through the hassle of informing them they were going to do it. So they slipped a bill into a voting bill that had nothing to do with voting, and everything to do with taking the DNA of over 5 million Texas babies. Not only did they get the DNA without permission, they made sure that the parents paid $30.00 for the taking!

Now understandably, some parents are a little upset, since you can’t even feed a baby formula without consent in the hospital, but taking your kids blood and adding it to a date-base was perfectly OK.

Naturally, the State was ONLY using the data to detect diseases in your baby, and would “Never” be used for anything but medical research. One would think that the good old boys, who have a long history of swallowing all the bullshit the State can feed them, would have been calmed by the State’s reassurance.

Not so fast Tonto! A Federal lawsuit was just settled, and the State “Agreed to destroy 5 million blood samples taken ILLEGALLY from Texas children. (Note that they have NOT agreed to destroy the date-base of info they have collected from that stolen information.)

Not to worry boys; I’m sure that years from now if LE suspects you or your child of doing something wrong, there is no info anywhere that can be used against you, after all, there’s no connection between Medical Records and LE Records, anymore than there is a connection between Civil and Criminal “Investigations”.

  2. Bill,

    Where are you today?

    The SLT has reported that Utah Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments about the sale of UEP trust assets. I thought you would be all over this like wet blanket.

    2. Cupcake on December 31st, 2009 at 6:47 pm
  3. Freed Texas slaves………………..a matter of perspective. Ask the innocent in Texas prisons if they are free. Ask the FLDS if they are free to practice their religion. Ask the average citizen being targeted by Texas law enforcement for “revenue generation” if they are free.

    Free to work for minimum wage and free to belong to the church of the Governors choice is not freedom.

  4. The Republic of Texas decided to join the Union because Texas was land rich but short on cash. Texas agreed to join the Union if the USA paid Texas’ debts.

    Texas has already seceded from the Union once. Texans decided to secede and join the CSA. The Yankees kicked their butts.

    My husband proudly says that we are Yankees from California, which was a free state. We never heard of Juneteenth until we moved to Texas. Juneteenth is the day that Texans celebrate receiving word of the Emanicipation Proclamation. Yes, it was Abraham Lincoln and the Yankees who freed Texas’ slaves.

  5. Texas following federal law is like a sailor bringing his own condoms to a brothel….it doesn’t happen.

    MHMR, The prison system, the welfare agencies and many other state agencies have been chastised by the Feds in the recent past for violateing federal law. It took a 5th US court to stop CPS from running as roughshod over people as they have done with the FLDs.
    The system is rotten in Texas and has been stinking for years and one case at a time the Feds are slowly changeing the state. It will take hundreds more arrests of citizens to get hundreds more cases in the federal courts and all the while the Barbies of Texas will continue ruleing the peons as they please………………

    Looks like post civil war reconstruction was curtailed too soon in Texas,,,heck..the governor elected with 38% of the vote wants to secede………… Texas will change one appeal at a time and the power structure will drag out the inevitable one dollar at a time.

  6. If Harvey Hildrebran received any hate mail, he brought it on himself. A politician shouldn’t be making hate speeches about minority groups, such as the one he made about not wanting the FLDS there and hoping that they would leave.

    It is against federal law to discriminate against anyone because of his/her race, religion or ethnic group. Whether we like it or not, Texas is part of the Union. Americans have every right to insist that Texans, including politicians, follow our government’s laws.

  7. Now that you’ve mentioned Oregon, one Saturday my daughter and I were reading Bill’s blog. We came across a link to a three part documentary film about children who have died while in CPS’s care. The movie included a case involving Oregon’s CPS.

    According to this documentary film, a woman left her abusive husband. She took her disabled child. Because she could not afford to buy her child’s medicine, she asked DSHS to pay for her child’s medicine.

    Instead of paying for the disabled child’s medicine, DSHS started an investigation. Oregon’s CPS determined that the woman neglected the child’s medical needs. CPS and the Oregon courts ruled that the child should be sent to live with the abusive husband’s family in Mexico. The mother later learned that the disabled child had been abused and murdered by her abusive husband’s family in Mexico.

    Does it make any sense to you why CPS would send an American disabled child to live in a foreign country because the child’s mother can’t afford to buy the child’s medicine? It doesn’t to me. I think DSHS should have paid for the child’s medicine and kept the little girl with her mother.

    7. Cupcake on December 30th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
  8. The Oregon paper can’t figure out where it’s readers stand anymore than the SLT and Brooke can;

    Read the comments on the piece about the 9th Circuit Decision, and they overwhelmingly support the Court’s Ruling.

    Notice also that the paper never does mention that the girl was not being molested by anyone, and the report was a hoax.

    8. Bill on December 30th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
  9. All Harvey had to do was to publish ONE “Hate letter” from an FLDS source, and I would have contributed $1,000.00 to the charity of his choice.

    We didn’t see the letter did we?

    Harvey is a windbag liar looking for some pity. Sorry Harvey, I’m all out of pity for despots and bigots.

    9. Bill on December 30th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
  10. Harvey says he’s getting “hate mail” from the FLDS and he is happy about it. It would be interesting to read what he’s recieved. If it were real hate mail, I don’t think he would be too happy about getting it.

    He’s got a long way to go in protecting the little girls of Texas, since the middle schools have more prego’s than any other state. Funny that his little crusade corresponds to the FLDS moving in to the neighborhood

    10. WC on December 30th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
  11. Not necessarily a great ruling and the article is biased but CPS brought it on itself by it’s abuse of it’s already almost unlimited power.

    “The judges held that Oregon’s equivalent of Child Protective Services violated the Fourth Amendment when one of its caseworkers and a deputy sheriff took a girl aside at school and asked whether her father had been fondling her. The ruling’s implication is that they should have obtained a warrant – or the permission of her parents – before doing so.

    Washington’s Children’s Administration is scrambling to comply with this brand-new and rather astonishing requirement. Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist says it will “seriously handicap” investigations. He also points out that it will make it tougher not only to quickly identify child abuse, but also to rule it out. A boy who shows up to school with suspicious bruises may have gotten them from his mother’s live-in boyfriend – or a fall from a tree. It’s important to find out, fast, what’s going on. ”

  12. Some of those anti Flds sites seem almost pornographic. They seem to have some sort of voyeuristic need to peer over private writings of the spiritual leader at the time through even the listing of each person’s family tree.

    12. Alinusara10 on December 30th, 2009 at 11:40 am
  13. Cupcake: if you have ever visited the site the KS are contantly promoting, you will find more disgusting “trash talk” then Bill ever thought of.
    I visited the site once some time ago. I was horrified to read what was almost a description of a rape and it was posted by one of the most active members of the KS. Why this piece was not deleted by the site owner, I can not imagine.
    Needless to say I have never returned to that site.

    13. MV on December 30th, 2009 at 10:08 am
  14. I’d like to stick something in their eye, but it sure ain’t my finger.

    14. Bill on December 30th, 2009 at 9:38 am
  15. We must consider the fact that the antipolygamy crowd calls Bill a filthy man because he uses strong language to express his views. They call his blog “porn.” They use his strong language against him. At the same time, they seem to think it is acceptable to insult, degrade, threaten and stalk us.

    Have you noticed that just about everything the KS say revolves around sex, especially sex with children? I would be surprised if anyone who belongs to that group ever had a clean, wholesome thought.

    As much as the antipolygamy crowd claims to hate Bill, they are sex-obsessed voyeurs who cannot keep their eyes off Bill’s blog. Their behavior makes absolutely no sense to me. If I thought a blog was a porn site, I would not go to it. But the antipolygamy crowd insists upon coming here to read what we say. This suggests to me that they know Bill’s blog is not “porn.” They simply call his blog “porn” because they consider Bill to be their enemy.

    15. Cupcake on December 30th, 2009 at 1:24 am
  16. c’mon Cupcake!

    Remember that story you told about the lesbian couple, the petite one and the big mama?

    Big Mama was the dyke. Male, dominate member of the lesbo duet.

    What I dont get though, is why big mama dyke let the petite one kick his/her ass.

    I guess some big dykes have a sense of chivalry? Who knew!?!?

    16. TheOriginalDiesel on December 29th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
  17. Dyke…something in Holland that a little Dutch boy stuck his finger in.

    NOW we know why the CPS dykes don’t like the term dyke. They hate little Dutch boys. Is Bill Dutch? Bill………be sure to keep your fingers out of the dyke and perhaps the Nazi Dykes would calm dopwn.

    17. zxc on December 29th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
  18. Sorry, but I don’t know the origin of the term “dyke.”

    18. Cupcake on December 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
  19. Many years ago, I was acquainted with a gay man who told me he was proud to be called a “faggot.” He said that, back in the days when homosexuals were burned at the stake, the term “faggot” referred to the wood used to torch them.

    19. Cupcake on December 29th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
  20. Nazi Dyke Gestapo Fluckers.

    Thats it!

    20. TheOriginalDiesel on December 29th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
  21. Cupcake, yes those of us who stood up to CPS & the KS have been threatened, which is why I use this moniker. I know one person was actually stalked to her place of employment by the KS.

    I personally don’t like it when Bill uses dykes, because I do have friends who are lesbians & it’s offensive to them. (And btw, several of the good attorneys for moms & children were also lesbians, so mebbe Bill you could dial that back a bit? I do like the term Klukkers, because it describes their mindset to a T.)

    21. Riki on December 29th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
  22. Stick with dyke Nazis…………they sure don’t like it.

    Since when do dyke Nazis deserve the least bit of considerastion.

    Souns like all the hub-bub about what to call a bunch of Nazis without offending the Nazis is only minimizing the Nazis. A Nazi is a Nazi and CPS dykes are CPS dykes …………….kinda likle lipstick on a pig to change a derogatory term this far into the fight.

    22. zxc on December 29th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
  23. “If that’s true, then there are a large number of kids running around the farm that have to be accounted for. Somebody certainly said Yeeeeees!”

    …. not a goat, I’m pretty sure. (And yes, I know goats don’t quite say “baaaaah!”, that’s sheep, but I can’t think of a way to type the noise of a goat eating every plant in your garden. Well, other than AAAAAARGGH! which was the sound the lady who had planted all of her organic tomatoes made when she saw the damage….)

    23. Crystal on December 29th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
  24. “Fluckers” bill you do have some nerve, I would never consider asking Maggie! Go head ask, !!!!!

    24. pins on December 29th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
  25. “Kluckers” is good. It sounds a dirty word, but it’s not.

    25. Cupcake on December 29th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
  26. If that’s true, then there are a large number of kids running around the farm that have to be accounted for. Somebody certainly said Yeeeeees!

    As for “Kluckers” I kind of like the sound of “Klackers” more, but my favorite is “Fluckers”.

    I’m not sure that will pass Maggie’s smell test, but I’ll ask her.

    26. Bill on December 29th, 2009 at 10:40 am
  27. “I really don’t care what Bill calls the Nazis.”


    I like the term “kluckers,” as it calls to mind not only the ks and the klan, but hens at a pecking party.

    27. Julie on December 29th, 2009 at 9:11 am
  28. Bill: Now, it “Owes” brucie close to 3 million so that he can destroy the Trust.


    I suspect it now owes far more than that, which is why Brucie hasn’t submitted an accounting in over a year. He doesn’t want an appeals court to know how much he’s paying himself to do the state’s dirty business.

    28. Julie on December 29th, 2009 at 9:04 am
  29. But Bill, don’t you know? “Baaaaaah” means “Nooooooo!”

    I will say you are an equal opportunity offender if you equate both homosexuality and polygamy with bestiality. (Being an equal opportunity offender is not a bad thing — I watch South Park and admire the writers for their ability to do exactly that, offend every group they depict on their program.)

    29. Crystal on December 29th, 2009 at 7:55 am
  30. When Utah stole the U.E.P., it was self sufficient and debt free.

    Now, it “Owes” brucie close to 3 million so that he can destroy the Trust.

    Denise has two choices; Give the Trust back to it’s owners, or, spend the balance of her career in litigation with the residents of Short Creek to cover brucie’s incompetent ass.

    30. Bill on December 29th, 2009 at 12:00 am
  31. Brooke Adams has reported that the state of Arizona has petitioned the court to have the UEPT dissolved. I doubt this can work. Judge Lindberg is not living in the real world. She stills thinks that she can social engineer the FLDS. IM sure that the state of Arizona supports the judge.

    31. THOMAS on December 28th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
  32. Considering all the abuse (and threats) flung at anyone who spoke against the cruel and inhumane way that CPS treated the FLDS children and mothers, I really don’t care what Bill calls the Nazis.

    32. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
  33. Yep.being called a Nazi kinda hurts when you consider yourself a State legislator above the law. To bad that the Nazis got their feelings hurt.too bad that the dykes are upset.

    There is one cure for all the furor over namecalling. Follow the constitution of this Country and allow people to practice their religion. Perhaps refraining from desecrateing a church would be a good start on the road to not being a Nazi.

    33. zxc on December 28th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
  34. The United States is one of the big five in the United Nations. The United Nations lists the transfer of children from one group to another as a form of genocide, which is against international law.

    If you told me a few years ago that some day I would be an FLDS defender, I would never have believed you. Like many Americans, I believed that genocide only occurred in third world countries. When I read that Judge Walthers ordered that all the FLDS children be placed in foster care, I knew I had to speak against it.

    How can we speak against the atrocities committed in Rwanda, the Balkans and other countries if we permit the same behavior in our own country?

    Barbara Walthers is an attorney and a judge, so she can’t very well plead ignorance of international law.

    Harvey Hildrebran may have good intentions, but I’ve often heard that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    The KS argue that underage marriage is wrong. I myself don’t believe in underage marriage. But when I was a little girl, my mother taught me that two wrongs don’t make a right.

    34. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
  35. The state officials (Darby, et al.) were quite offended when called “nazi’s” yet Willie’s demeanor was pretty calm to the constant “pedophile” references towards the FLDS. These labels can be upsetting, especially when there is some truth to them.

    35. WC on December 28th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
  36. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Bill

    A great article about a very important issue and you had to blow it by using offensive terms.

    Why do you do this?

    Listen Doran, Long and Kemp were part of this and I can pretty much be 100% certain they aren’t lesbians. (Though I have my doubts about which team Longs plays for).

    36. * on December 28th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
  37. On the other hand. It seems that state officials gave Willie a hard time about the Nazi label. Nazi gets under the skin of a lot of officials and since the klan has a group in the San Angelo region and the Nazis are a close parallel to the klan we may have hit on a new label.

    How about Nazi Dykes………….or something along those lines. Dyke Nazis could work. How about ignorant Dyke Bozo Nazis?

    37. zxc on December 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
  38. So…………..I guess dykes are offended when CPS are labeled dykes. Could be that dykes are offended because the CPS are so lowlife that even the word dyke is an improvement. every dyke that I have known has been proud to be called a dyke…………perhaps Bill is being too nice.

    Oh well…………..can’t please everyone.

    I like the term bozos but I am sure the bozo the clown supporters are offended by associateing the term bozo to the dyke CPS bimbos.

    38. zxc on December 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
  39. I prefer the term “Nazi” or “Gestapo agent” because not everyone involved in the raid of the YFZ ranch was female. According to the United Nations, taking children from their parents because their parents believe in an unpopular religion and placing them with families that practice a more popular religion is a form of genocide. Don’t blame me if the shoe fits.

    39. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
  40. “If you don’t want Bill to use the word “dyke,” is there a word you would prefer that he use?” - cupcake
    —–
    It is of my opinion that it would be better to describe the actions of individuals rather than being offensive towards a “group” of people. Calling lesbian women dykes is offensive towards all lesbians. In my opinion that is no better than what the state is doing to FLDS.

    I alone am responsible for my own actins. What I prefer truly doesn’t matter, this is Bill’s blog. It is up to Bill to make changes if he so chooses.

    I on the other hand know that I will not personally offend select groups of people. I see no progress in doing as such and have come to the decision that I will not associate myself with individuals who do.

    40. Dormette on December 28th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
  41. I get a kick out of folks who keep telling me that “They are not all bad”.

    Out of the hundreds of CPS dykes who came into contact with the children and mothers, NOT ONE said the children were not abused. NOT EVEN newborn babies.

    NOT ONE GAL suggested the children should go home.

    NOT ONE CASA dyke suggested the children go home.

    One the other hand, ONLY ONE crackpot lawyer who was an AAL thought the child should be kept away from her parents, and THAT AAL was trying to groom the girl for herself.

    41. Bill on December 28th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
  42. It has been my experience that State employees have been marginal in their jobs at best. Sure there are a few good apples in the barrel but few is the key word here.

    Got a degree in basket weaveing a State agency might just hire you to manage a budget.

    State jobs attract people who value “benefits” and whine about the pay…………..beats a minimum wage job any day.

    State employees have a “culture” of their own and in many cases are unemployable in the private sector. Look at other state agencies…………prisons, MHMR, CPS, health department and the number of scandles in each of those agencies in the recent past.

    Look at a Governor that was elected with 38% of the vote and his attitude about secession.

    Texas government is full of people that I wouldn’t employ to pump out my septic tank……they would spill crap everywhere then fine you for a sewage leak.

    42. zxc on December 28th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
  43. Some people dislike being labeled “despot judge”, “dyke”, or even “dog shit mom”. But Bill makes a good point, try not to do those things. IMO.

    43. WC on December 28th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
  44. My personal preference is “feminazi”, but dyke works too.

    44. WC on December 28th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
  45. I have been blasted before for calling the CPS and CASA women dykes, so I pretty much knew where you were coming from.

    I could care less about who someone sleeps with. If a guy wants to sleep with a goat, that’s his problem. If two people of the same sex want to share a bed, that’s their choice. If 100 girls want to marry Winston Blackmore, lucky for him!

    I did not pick the term dyke out to describe the CPS and CASA workers that abused the children because it was the most insulting term I could come up with.

    I use it because that is what they turned out to be, time and time again during the past two years. If they were males doing the same things, I would have called them “Chicken hawks”. Since they looked, sounded like and behaved like dykes, they were so named.

    A “Normal” CPS or CASA worker doesn’t strap a child into a stroller and leave him there until they dehydrate and end up in a hospital in San Angelo.

    A “Normal” CPS or CASA worker doesn’t deny a child her diabetic medicine.

    A “Normal” AAL doesn’t try to groom a child in her bedroom until 2 in the morning.

    A “Normal” judge doesn’t order 465 children into a stable with no heat, air, running water or plumbing.

    We’re not dealing with “Normal” people, so I call them as they have presented themselves. If that upsets them, then stop behaving that way!

    As for the picture I sent you, it was sent not to shock or upset you, but to demonstrate that when it comes to dykes, I know what I’m talking about.

    The surgery was the 3rd, and maybe it will be the last. In any event, it was a year ago and the original injury is over 55 years old. I’ll get over it, just as I hope Willson, Max, MeriLee and 462 other children will get over their injuries in time.

    45. Bill on December 28th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
  46. I also want to say that every child who suffered the type of abuse I referenced above and was not saved from it due to the amount of time and effort wasted on taking 100+ children who were in no danger of being abused (because really, how many of the children who were taken in the YFZ raid were in the age range where they might have possibly been getting married or were married underage? And I don’t even know if the FLDS people are able to marry at all now with Warren in jail!) is a victim of the travesty that this website was created to protest.

    46. Crystal on December 28th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
  47. Bill,

    Again, I am sorry for first responding in my very confused state at receiving that picture with no explanation. I should have looked to see if my comment had been unmoderated before responding to you. If nothing else, you certainly got to see my shock at receiving the picture!

    What happened to you was horrific child abuse and I am appalled that anyone could be so terrible to a child.

    However… horrific child abuse, even against boys, is not limited to man-hating lesbians. Yes, usually girl children get most of the news stories — like what happened to Brianna Lopez. A very graphic news story describing what happened to this poor child is linked here. If you feel it should be removed, I understand, just as I understand why you did not post the picture you sent me publicly. http://www.vidoemo.com/yvideo.php?baby-brianna=&i=cGtTTjY1cWuRpY0pLT0U

    But men abuse boys: http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=92873&provider=top

    Straight women abuse boys: http://www.mefeedia.com/news/26782920

    Couples abuse boys: http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-apple-valley-child-torture,0,2331080.story

    You know how people say “These people are scum!” and the response is “That’s insulting to scum!”? …. even if you believe CPS workers, lesbians, or even extremely millitant lesbians I know who proudly call themselves “dykes” are scum, associating this kind of thing with them is really, really insulting to them. I think we can all agree that child abuse, no matter who does it, and no matter who the target is, is horrific.

    And I’m ashamed to be a member of the same gender and species as the monster who hurt you.

    I hope you get better soon. Thank you for sharing what happened to you — I’m sure it is painful to discuss, but it does help me better understand some of the comments I’ve seen here. I’m just so sorry that it ever happened to you for you to have to share.

    47. Crystal on December 28th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
  48. Ever hear them refer to themselves as “Dykes on bikes”?

    Like our black friends, are they the only ones who can use politically incorrect terms against themselves?

    There are hundreds of terms you can use on me, but “Hypocrite and politically correct” will never be two of them.

    48. Bill on December 28th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
  49. If you don’t want Bill to use the word “dyke,” is there a word you would prefer that he use?

    49. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
  50. What got me involved in this case was Walther’s regard to breast feeding children. I considered Walther’s a sadist when she wanted to seperate breastfeeding babies from their mothers who were not guilty of committing any crime. Sadist’s are not limited to people who have a specific sexual preference.

    50. Dormette on December 28th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
  51. dyke 2 (dīk)
    n. Offensive Slang
    Used as a disparaging term for a lesbian.

  52. Correct, ultimately they didn’t win, they have all the information stored somewhere, they no longer need the blood samples.

  53. The fact that the lead CPS and CASA workers were dykes had EVERYTHING to do with the abuse and neglect heaped upon the children, especially the boys.

    Your problem is that you do not know the difference between a homosexual and a sadist. A dyke is purely sadistic.

  54. Texas officials want polygamist group to pay cost of raid
    May 21st, 2008 @ 11:21am
    (AP Photo/Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)

    (KSL News) The costs related to the raid of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) compound and the ensuing foster care and court battles are adding up. Texas officials think the church should foot the bill.

    According to the Austin American-Statesman, the cost of the initial raid is estimated at a little more than $5.2 million, but that’s only the beginning.

    Officials say it will cost at least $2.2 million to help the local courts handle legal proceedings for each child. They also think an additional $1.7 million will be needed each month to care for children in the custody of the state.

    Texas state lawmakers are now trying to figure out how they can force those still living on the compound to pay the expenses, possibly by selling the land it sits on.

    The state did not follow proper protocol when intercepting a so called Hoax, then wants FLDS to pay for it? Tell me this wasn’t about money?

    Texas to destroy baby blood taken without consent

    By JAY ROOT (AP) – 5 days ago

    AUSTIN, Texas — Texas health authorities will destroy more than five million blood samples taken from babies without parental consent and stored indefinitely for scientific research.

    The Texas Department of State Health Services announced Tuesday it would destroy the samples after settling a federal lawsuit filed by the Texas Civil Rights Project. The project, acting on behalf of five plaintiffs, had sued the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas A&M University System.

    The lawsuit alleged that the state’s failure to ask parents for permission to store and possibly use the blood — originally collected to screen for birth defects — violated constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure. The plaintiffs cited fears their children’s private health data could be misused.

    Under the settlement overseen by a San Antonio federal court, the blood samples collected without parental consent must be destroyed by early next year. It also requires the department to publish a list of all research projects that used the blood specimens.

    State health services spokeswoman Allison Lowery said an estimated 5.3 million samples would be destroyed. About 4 million to 4.5 million are stored at the Texas A&M School of Rural Public Health, she said.

    Andrea Beleno, 33, was one of the parents who sued the state. She said she was “stunned” to learn that blood samples taken from her son, born in Austin in November 2008, were being stored indefinitely for unspecified research projects.

    “You have to give permission for them to give your kid formula in the hospital,” Beleno said. “I don’t understand why you don’t have to give permission for the state to keep your kid’s DNA.”

    Texas has been collecting blood samples for decades to screen for at least 27 different birth defects and other disorders. By law the blood could be taken without consent by hospitals, birthing centers and midwives.

    The Department of State Health Services established a policy in 2002 in which it began setting aside the blood “spots” after the screenings are done and allowing some of it to be used for research. Before that, the blood was discarded after a certain interval.

    This year the Texas Legislature tightened up the procedures, providing opt-out policies for parents, extending privacy guarantees and implementing controls over any scientific research that uses the samples. At issue in the lawsuit settlement are the millions of samples collected and stored before the law took effect in May.

    “As a result of this settlement, DSHS will destroy all bloodspot cards received by the department before May 27, 2009,” the health services agency said in a written statement. “We will continue to be very sensitive to the privacy concerns of parents and the confidentiality of all medical information.”

    Under current law, the department can still use the blood samples for quality control and disease research as long as parents don’t object. The department screens about 800,000 newborn blood specimens each year.

  57. Just for the record the Supreme Court has denied inmates them rights to DNA testing….

    Last month, I wrote an entry about the current trend of prosecutors blocking convicted prison inmates from accessing DNA testing on old pieces of evidence stored in police files. Despite inmate advocacy groups’ claims that DNA tests have exonerated hundreds from false imprisonment, prosecutors are denying the tests to inmates, citing insufficient scope of state laws. William Osborne, a man currently serving a 26-year sentence for a 1994 rape conviction in Alaska, brought his case all the way to the Supreme Court. Osborne is seeking a DNA test under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on police evidence collected during his 1994 rape trial. But yesterday, the Supreme Court dealt a major blow to the wrongfully-convicted of America’s prisons.

    On June 18, 2009, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against Osborne, deciding that convicted prison inmates do not have a constitutional right to obtain DNA tests on old evidence. As a result, the decision of whether or not to grant inmates access to DNA testing will remain in the hands of state courts and legislatures. While according to the Chicago Tribune, 47 states have already enacted laws that allow inmates to receive DNA testing in some post-conviction instances, Alaska is not one of them. Osborne, who won in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, may now face an impossible task in obtaining what he believes to be justice.

  58. Dear Chrystal,

    While I realize it can be “Put off” for some people, I call a spade a spade. If LE acts like the Gestapo, I call them such. If barbie acts like a bigoted despot, I call her such. If the hairball acts like a fool, I call him such.

    The FACT of the matter is that if you look into the background of MOST Senior CPS workers, you will find the over whelming majority of them consider themselves to be lesbian.

    They need to be lesbian’s in order to be able to do the type’s of things to children, particularly boys, that they do. What can make a grown man cry, they do without an afterthought as demonstrated to the Texas Rangers when the children were separated from their mothers and other family members.

    Most lesbians cannot do this type of activity, unless they are a very special breed of lesbian, known as “Dykes”.

    When it comes to dykes and what they are capable of, I am well versed in my research. I will e mail you a picture of my hand taken last year. It is the 3rd corrective surgery I’ve had on my hands since a dyke fried them over a gas stove at age 9 and destroyed the tendons that allowed my fingers to move.

    “Hyperbole” it is not. I pick and chose my words very carefully and only use those words that will make the deepest cuts and remain on point.

    The dykes hate to be called dykes, but then, cockroaches hate the sunlight too.

    Most folks sat back during the Holocaust and did nor said nothing that would have been “Offensive” to those in power. I have no intentions of repeating that history with those in power now in Texas or any other place. If they don’t want to be called dykes, then they can stop acting like them.

    What people want is some kind of sugar coated report of what went on against the women and children of the Ranch almost two years ago. I don’t know how to sugar coat child abuse and neglect against innocent children and if the reality of the events shocks or disturbs you, then you need to move to the fictional story as put out by the State.

    The fact of the matter is that no level of abuse against the children as alleged by the State rose above the abuse and neglect they themselves inflicted upon these people.

    and

    http://www.forensicmag.com/News_Articles.asp?pid=534

    The bill is S 1858 and the more worrying part aside from the lack of obtaining permission to take the sample and us it is the phrase that isn’t explained, “for other purposes”.

    “Other purposes” leaves the samples open for use in further legislation among “other” things. Like allowing the denial of medical insurance on preexisting conditions by insurance companies. Truthfully, what would be the use of keeping those samples instead of disposing of them after the initial tests if someone doesn’t keep track of the child’s medical records for life to see if they develop any of those diseases tested for. To see if they develop and at what stage in their life. So effectively, it wipes out medical confidentiality with the words “for other purposes”.

    “For other purposes” as one can tell if you read enough on the subject includes access by law enforcement. The DNA is accessible by a number of government agencies and with no clear definitions and boundaries before even committing a crime, in a system riddled with corruption and mistakes, our children’s DNA can regularly be tested for a match to crime scene evidence. This would bypass all our laws on taking DNA from a suspect and the 4th Amendment rights against taking DNA forcibly. So in effect, with the establishment of the national DNA database, our children and grandchildren lose a fundamental right of privacy as their DNA becomes government property.

    The very name of the bill, Newborn Screening Saves Lives, should have put every American on their guard, that is if there had been any publicity carried by the national media. How exactly does it save lives? The children tested are already born and a genetic inclination for a disease is born with one. Will the government actively be involved in the medical treatment of every child born? Will they be guiding doctors as to what to watch for in a particular child and what preventative measures to take or what treatments will work best, in their opinion when a problem arises?

    There are those who have speculated that this bill is a precursor to a massive eugenics program. They have gone as far as to predict the information could be used in issuing licenses to have children with your mate based on your DNA and the probability of giving birth to a child who may have some “defect”. Shades of the Chinese response to overpopulation.

    Whatever the intention of the bill, the way it was passed and the way it’s been carried out is downright sinister. As are the unexplained words, “For other purposes”. If my dislike for this bill formally puts me under the heading of conspiracy theorist, the more I read about it, the more I say, “Pass me one of those tin foil hats.”

  61. … this is more of a comment on your site itself. The DNA issue is not one I am entirely familiar with and I will be researching. (I think DNA databases of criminals and sex offenders — not saying that anyone in the FLDS qualifies as either, btw — is good because a murder case in my state was solved by one such database… Google Kristin Laurite. But there are significant privacy issues that are in place when there is not a compelling public interest for DNA information to be obtained, like there is from violent criminals — and I don’t know if I would want the DNA from even them to be used for medical research without their consent either.)

    I found your site after reading books and hearing news reports, because I wanted to find out more information about the FLDS and the Texas raid in particular. I like to look at all sources of information before making my own personal judgments, and I know I still have a lot to read. I also admire people who have strong faith and who live by that faith. The FLDS is unquestionably made up of people of strong faith who live their faith despite enormous challenges.

    However…. it would be a lot easier for me to read some of the articles on here without, for example, the gratuitous references to people’s presumed sexual orientation. You have the right to say whatever you wish — we live in America, even if sometimes it may not seem like it. But it does make it harder for me to take some things you say seriously. I am having to read very carefully to screen what seems like hyperbole. It might do more good for your cause to consider the impact of how you say what you say.

    However, thank you for being bold enough to say how you feel if it is how you feel — few people in this country are.

    Take care,

    Crystal

  62. Bush Signs Bill To Take All Newborns’ DNA

    Brase states that S.1858 and H.R. 3825, the House version of the bill, will:

    • Establish a national list of genetic conditions for which newborns and children are to be tested.
    • Establish protocols for the linking and sharing of genetic test results nationwide.
    • Build surveillance systems for tracking the health status and health outcomes of individuals diagnosed at birth with a genetic defect or trait.
    • Use the newborn screening program as an opportunity for government agencies to identify, list, and study “secondary conditions” of individuals and their families.
    • Subject citizens to genetic research without their knowledge or consent.
    “Soon, under this bill, the DNA of all citizens will be housed in government genomic biobanks and considered governmental property for government research,” Brase writes. “The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research.”

    “The public is clueless. S. 1858 imposes a federal agenda of DNA databanking and population-wide genetic research. It does not require consent and there are no requirements to fully inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research.”

    In a previous report we outlined the consequences of the already existing DNA warehousing operation in Minnesota, a program that the Citizens’ Council on Health Care has been following closely for a number of years.

    Ms. Brase explained in a statement last month that state Health Department officials are now seeking exemption for the so called “DNA Warehouse” from Minnesota privacy law. This would enable state officials to continue to take the DNA of newborn infants without consent, which would also set the precedent for nationwide policy on DNA screening.

    DNA of newborns has already been harvested, tested, stored and experimented with nationwide.

    The National Conference of State Legislatures lists for all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the various statutes or regulatory provisions under which newborns’ DNA is already being collected.

    In addition, all 50 states are now routinely providing these results to the Department of Homeland Security.

    The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 merely establishes this practice within the law.

    Another vocal critic of bill S. 1858 is Texas Congressman Ron Paul who made the following comments before the U.S. House of Representatives:

    “I cannot support legislation, no matter how much I sympathize with the legislation’s stated goals, that exceed the Constitutional limitations on federal power or in any way threatens the liberty of the American people. Since S. 1858 violates the Constitution, and may have untended consequences that will weaken the American health care system and further erode medical privacy, I must oppose it.”

    Paul, a medical doctor himself continued, “S. 1858 gives the federal bureaucracy the authority to develop a model newborn screening program. Madame Speaker the federal government lacks both the constitutional authority and the competence to develop a newborn screening program adequate for a nation as large and diverse as the United States. …”

    “Those of us in the medical profession should be particularly concerned about policies allowing government officials and state-favored interests to access our medical records without our consent … My review of S. 1858 indicates the drafters of the legislation made no effort to ensure these newborn screening programs do not violate the privacy rights of parents and children,” Paul continued.

    “In fact, by directing federal bureaucrats to create a contingency plan for newborn screening in the event of a ‘public health’ disaster, this bill may lead to further erosions of medical privacy. As recent history so eloquently illustrates, politicians are more than willing to take, and people are more than willing to cede, liberty during times of ‘emergency,” he concluded.

    Our children are property of who?

    62. Dormette on December 28th, 2009 at 11:18 am
  63. My daughter is very upset about Texas’ taking her children’s DNA samples without her permission. She wants to know what Texas was researching. Were they testing to see how smart a child would be? What genetic diseases were they looking for? She feels that Texas should be forced to reveal their findings to the public.

    63. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 2:04 am
  64. Bill,

    My daughter and I would like more information about this lawsuit because both of us had babies in Texas. Neither of us knew that the state had taken samples of our children’s DNA. This is the first time we have heard about it.

    My daughter asks if the DNA samples were taken for medical research, did the state tell families if their babies had a genetic disease?

    My husband is also upset because the state took a sample without his authorization. He says that like something that a communist country would do. He feels Texas should have informed us and obtained our consent before doing so.

    We really don’t like this because some insurance companies deny coverage based on information from a DNA sample. Our children and grandchildren don’t live in Texas any more. Texas does not need samples of their DNA.

    Thanks for informing us.

    64. Cupcake on December 28th, 2009 at 12:34 am
  65. I don’t get how the State was going to match up DNA with diseases?

    How were they going to get the medical records?

    As far as I can tell, there was probably nothing which would stop the State from using this DNA during criminal trials - or other things. For example allowing or disallowing marriages bases on genetics.

    65. * on December 28th, 2009 at 12:00 am
  66. Of the 5 million samples taken there were less than 1000 samples destroyed on the request of parents before the lawsuit was settled. The issue was made public about a year ago and only a miniscule amount of parents cared enough to request the removal of the data.

    I am sure that the extreme minority that cried foul is satisfied with the outcome of the DNA collection and as far as the $30 insurance picked up the tab in most cases.

    There may have been nothing sinister in the states plans to track genetic diseases but hey…..kinda unethical.

    If you want a real issue how about the habit of several counties harvesting organs from the dead WITHOUT the families permission. seems that the body belongs to the State and permission is only a courtesy to the family…so says Travis County.

    66. zxc on December 27th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
  67. If the state took a sample of a baby’s DNA without the parents’ permission, I think the act should be considered an assault. A person’s DNA is private and personal. If the state took DNA samples of 5 million babies without their parents’ permission, Texas committed 5 million assaults.

    67. Cupcake on December 27th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
  68. Here’s a few questions?

    What is the name of the federal lawsuit? Was it a class action suit?
    Are the babies whose DNA samples were taken without their parents’ permission entitled to any compensation?
    Will the parents who were charged $30.00 for this invasive procedure get their money back?
    What can be done to force Texas to destroy the data base?
